I have decorated my private home with aluminium cladding wood windows and doors. Now I would like to share with more people.
Exterior windows and doors divide into aluminum ( thermal break and no thermal break ), aluminum wood composite, UPVC and solid wood profile windows, according to frame profile materials.
Refer to advantages, side opening ( casement ) windows have better heat insulation effect than sliding ones. But the horizontal sliding windows are more light-transmitting than casement ones. My home is in fifth layer, and I chose the front ones, which are inwards opening. If you also prefer them like me, please check your local building laws and regulations, do them allow them.
